Ekrily

Project context

Ekrily is a peer-to-peer service rental platform. It enables service providers to list their offerings and individuals to book them with ease. Built on a serverless AWS microservices architecture, it covers listing management, instant messaging, bookings and user interactions, complemented by a companion mobile application

The challenge

Individuals own many rarely used items, yet rental platforms are often limited to a single category. The goal was a generic marketplace (cars, housing, tools, clothing, equipment, games) while keeping the journey simple, reassuring and suited to a local audience

Our approach

We designed a platform where people publish a rental offer or request, search near them and talk before handing the item over. The model is deliberately generic so new types of goods can be added without a redesign
